An exploration of the challenges of using encryption, how AWS thinks about cryptographic controls internally, and how this informs their services.

Encryption is a favorite of security and compliance professionals everywhere. Many compliance frameworks actually mandate encryption. Though encryption is important, it is also treacherous. Cryptographic protocols are subtle, and researchers are constantly finding new and creative flaws in them. Using encryption correctly, especially over time, also is expensive because you have to stay up to date. AWS wants to encrypt data. And our customers, including Amazon, want to encrypt data. In this talk, we look at some of the challenges with using encryption, how AWS thinks internally about encryption, and how that thinking has informed the services we have built, the features we have vended, and our own usage of AWS.
